“The Christmas Card,” filmed in Nevada City, airs in December

“The Christmas Card,” filmed in Nevada City, tells the story of a soldier, Cody Cullen, with no family who, while serving in Afghanistan, receives an anonymous holiday card that touches him deeply.

While on leave back home, he travels to Nevada City, the picturesque town from which the card was sent. Once there, Cody meets and falls in love with beautiful Faith Spelman, who sent the card, and quickly becomes a cherished member of the Spelman family.

Yet romance for Cody and Faith seems out of the question, because she has a boyfriend and is about to become engaged.

The current issue of our magazine suggests going to the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce at 132 Main Street Nevada City, for a map to see some of the local filming spots, as well as a DVD of the movie.
